West of hollywood


Brother in tears
Look at this chain of sorrows
Stretching all the way from here and now to hell and gone
I was kid clean
She was anne de siecle
Just a thrill away from punching through to the cosmic wow
It started out good
Then it got lots better
Makin up the rules as we went along
But with a business like this
Theres an gnarly downside

Chorus:
Im way deep into nothing special
Riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of hollywood

Swingin so hard
We burned right through the summer
Till the axis of pain/pleasure sheared the arc of desire
From the rebus affair
To the streets of culver city
Places and events slip below the horizon line
Now at this time
Into our pretty story
The truth compels us
To bring a certain name
Meet if you will
Doctor warren kruger

Chorus

She reached out for my hand
While I watched myself lurch across the room
And I almost got there

Look in my eyes
Cant you see the core is frozen?
You cant ask me to access the dreams I dont have now
Sadly for us
Our little talk is over
So together well endure the tyranny of the disallowed
Dont you love port blanc
When hooterie is over
When the girls get easy and the crowds are gone
A weekend of bliss
Then the rainy season

Chorus

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Steely Dan is an American musical group formed in New York City in 1972, known for its sophisticated and distinctive sound, a fusion of jazz, rock, funk, rhythm and blues, and pop. Founding members Donald Fagen and Walter Becker have always maintained a high level of attention to music production, characterized by complex arrangements and impeccably defined sound. Their often introspective music, rich in cultural references, anticipated many musical trends of the 1980s. Among their most representative songs are "Reelin' in the Years", "Deacon Blues" and "Peg". Steely Dan released ten studio albums between 1972 and 1980, achieving significant critical and commercial success. After a hiatus of over twenty years, the band reunited in 2000 for new recordings and tours, demonstrating their enduring ability to captivate a wide and diverse audience.
